Subject: harmful prey - final results

Hi CPers!

About one month ago I asked about possible harm to VFT, H. minor
and Ceph if fed with woodlice (aka sow- or pill-bugs). I was
convinced by some of you that it's okay and here are the results:

VFT: 3 woodlice went into 3 big traps
      --------------------------------
      1 trap rotted away completely - amputated
      1 trap got a black spot that is still growing
      1 trap feels fine but is still closed after some 3 weeks

Ceph: 1 woodlouse went into the biggest trap
      --------------------------------------
      the trap is fine, no harm visible

Heli: 2 woodlice went into the biggest 2 of only 3 adult traps
      --------------------------------------------------------
      1 trap rotted away - amputated
      1 trap looks fine
      1 new adult trap shows up where #1 was cut away

With this result I would describe feeding woodlice to be a
certain risk. I'm still considering a lawsuit ;-)))

I set the remaining woodlice free as I don't have any Neps or
Sarrs (they should be no problem for them) and am waiting now
for the houseflies to reappear.

Bye, Stefan.
